The mistress of the Hou family worked herself to death, and she did not serve after her rebirth

Soon, Shen Yuyan, who was far away in the suburbs of the capital, heard the news that the grandson of a tutor in the capital was looking for a woman who could imitate handwriting to be his wife.

At first she was shocked and thought that the truth had been revealed.

But when she heard that many women had gone to compare handwriting, and several with similar handwriting had been included in the shortlist, she became anxious.

Ever since her last attempt to plot against Pei Jiuniang failed and she was plotted against by Pei Jiuniang, she has been staying at her home in the suburbs and has been unable to recover.

She lost her innocence and was seen by so many people. She felt that her life was ruined.

She really wanted to kill Pei Jiuniang, and even encouraged Shen, who was also being plotted against, to go find Pei Jiuniang.

But Shen was like a wooden chicken all day long, motionless and dazed, and turned a deaf ear to her words.

It's really useless.

Shen Yuyan thought secretly, then disguised herself and went to inquire about the news carefully.

After spending some money, she finally got more detailed information.

"This grandson of the Grand Tutor was really dazzling in the past. Everyone thought that he would definitely be in the top three. Who would have thought that he would be devastated because of his relationship issues?"

"Feelings? What's going on?"

"This is a secret of the Xie family. I only found out about it from my cousin who works for the Xie family. He said that Xie Yuzhou fell in love with a woman he had been exchanging letters with many years ago. Unfortunately, he has been looking for this woman for many years without success. The old tutor loves this grandson the most. After knowing this, he asked the government to help look for her.

By the way, I also heard that Mr. Xie was trapped in love and had gone insane. Some people also said that he might not live long. The only thing to do now is to quickly find the woman with whom he was exchanging letters.

Mrs. Heng, the Grand Tutor of Xie, announced that if anyone could find this woman, or someone with similar handwriting, they would marry her as the main wife of the Xie family, no matter what her status was.

I also heard that many prostitutes want to try it out, just in case, they happen to be similar. "

"This person, when it comes to life and death, will take everything lightly."

Shen Yuyan was secretly surprised and covered her mouth.

She hasn't written to Xie Yuzhou for several years.

She fell in love with Xie Yuzhou at first sight and took the initiative to express her love to him, but Xie Yuzhou treated her like a monster.

In a fit of rage, she began to think of revenge.

She deliberately imitated Pei Jiuniang's handwriting to write a letter to Xie Yuzhou. She originally wanted to discredit Pei Jiuniang's reputation, but she didn't expect that the other party would actually reply to her letter.

Looking at the huge difference in treatment and the affection expressed between the lines of the letter, she was almost going crazy with jealousy.

But she endured it.

She imagined herself as Pei Jiuniang and wrote to him more than a dozen times.

Sometimes she even forgot her own identity and put herself into the shoes of Pei Jiuniang. During that time, she lived a very good life.

Until one day, she saw him on the street and tried to wave to him, but he just looked away in disgust.

Only then did she realize that she had been wishful thinking all along. The person he liked was not her, but Pei Jiuniang. She had borrowed Pei Jiuniang's identity to exchange those dozen letters with him.

But she wouldn't let him go so easily.

She wrote him a last letter in the name of Pei Jiuniang, telling him that she was going to marry someone she would never be able to match in her entire life.

During that period, Xie Yuzhou was about to take part in the imperial examination. After receiving the letter, he was said to have been devastated and ultimately did not even take part in the examination.

She originally just wanted to delay her success.

But unexpectedly, she became decadent for several years.

Thinking of this, she was almost eager to try it.

She had been jealous of Pei Jiuniang since she was a child, and she didn't know how many times she had copied her calligraphy. In this world, apart from Pei Jiuniang herself, there was definitely no one whose handwriting was more similar to hers. After confirming that it was correct, Shen Yuyan began to prepare.

She even changed her previous decadence, depression and hysteria, and practiced calligraphy every day, made new clothes, made new hairpins, and bought rouge and powder.

She wanted to meet Xie Yuzhou in her best possible manner.

Although Xie Yuzhou has not achieved any fame now, he was well-known as a talented scholar in his past, even the top three scholars in the past could not compare to him.

In the past, I wasted my time because I was trapped in love. Now, with her, it is not difficult for me to become the top scholar.

Also, although Master Xie has retired, he still has his network of contacts. If Xie Yuzhou passes the imperial examination in the future, he will be able to help him.

Moreover, her reputation is ruined now, and even if she marries an ordinary servant, the other party may not be willing.

Right now, this may be her only chance.

Shen Yuyan will catch it no matter what.

The maid who had served her since she was a child was surprised and delighted to see that she had suddenly become a different person. She couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what happened to you?"

"Your young lady is going to get married soon."

Shen Yuyan covered her mouth and laughed happily.

"Get married?"

The girl knew that she was now as smelly as a rat in a ditch. Not to mention getting married, even if she did nothing, she was already smelly enough.

The Shen family used to rely on the Pei family for their livelihood, but now, Shen has been divorced and Shen Yulang has been exiled. In the huge Shen family mansion, most of the former concubines and maids have run away. Now, only Shen Yuyan and Shen, as well as a few people who have signed death contracts, are left.

But everyone knew that they had offended the Marquis' wife, who had even dealt with her own biological mother, so how could she let them go?

In the past, she was willing to follow Shen Yuyan. First, she was quite generous. As long as she was obedient and loyal, she would give her some rewards from time to time. Second, Shen Yuyan promised that if she married into a wealthy family in the future, she would definitely let her follow her. If she got pregnant, she would let her help win the heart of the lord.

But now, when Shen Yuyan talks about getting married or marrying into a wealthy family, she just thinks Shen Yuyan is crazy?

Shen Yuyan was so immersed in the happy event that she had no idea that the maids thought she was crazy.

Shen Yuyan also knew that now that her family was in trouble, the maids and the old women were eager for her to leave. Thinking of this, she held the maid's hand and smiled softly, "I still remember what I promised you before. Don't worry, if I marry Mr. Xie in the future, I will allow you to be my concubine."

"Thank you, sir?"

The maid was stunned, and then she remembered the letters that Shen Yuyan had sent out under the hands of the maids around Shen, and she was suddenly shocked.

"Is what the young lady said true? Mr. Xie is really willing to marry the young lady?"

If so, then they have something to look forward to.

"What are you talking about? Mr. Xie and I have been in love for many years. I still have those letters. He treats me sincerely and I also have feelings for him. We are a match made in heaven."

As she spoke, Shen Yuyan glared at the girl fiercely.

The maid knew she had said something wrong and quickly admitted her mistake. She looked at Shen Yuyan a few more times and seemed to still be worried. While Shen Yuyan was ordering her to do things, she discussed with the other maids and nannies who were also forced to stay.

"Don't worry, I'll go find out. If it's true, we still have hope."

Everyone agreed.

There was no one to take care of the nanny now, so she could go out whenever she wanted. She would soon get accurate information on the street, and when she came back, the wrinkles on her face were all smoothed out.

"It's true. I heard that Mr. Xie is dying. He fell ill because of his love for his beloved but couldn't get her. Taifu Xie loves his grandson very much and wants to give Mr. Xie a happy birthday. Mr. Xie only made one request, which is to find someone who can write a letter.

Because the Xie family is not as good as it used to be, Taifu Xie has retired, and although Mr. Xie was once famous, he is now dying. And since it is a happy occasion, the Xie family does not have any big demands.

As long as your family background is clean.

Even if you come from a brothel, it's OK if you can imitate the handwriting."

"Great, this, this is simply pie in the sky."

The other servants who heard the news couldn't help but get excited.

"That's right. I thought our young lady was going to be ruined and that we would never be able to make a breakthrough. Who could have thought that the bridge would be straightened out naturally when it reached the bow of the boat?"

That night, the maids, old women and servants were all extremely happy.

Shen Yuyan even went to tell Shen Shi the good news. Although Shen Shi was still numb, she grabbed Shen Yuyan's hand and patted it several times.

Shen Yuyan became proud again.

On the day of her departure for Beijing, she made a special trip to the Marquis' Mansion first.

She couldn't enter the Marquis' Mansion now, so she waited on the road that Pei Jiuniang had to take when she returned home from work.

Pei Jiuniang saw from afar the carriage with the word "Shen" hanging on it waiting there, and a slight smile immediately appeared on the corner of her mouth.

As expected, that idiot Shen Yuyan went to Beijing as soon as she got the news. However, she didn't expect that she would have the nerve to show off to her.

Whatever.

It's impossible to change the temper you have had since childhood.

When she was little, she liked to show off anything she got in front of me. If I didn't react too calmly, she would not be happy and would run to Shen to complain, and Shen would say that she was jealous of Yuyan.

Thinking of this, Pei Jiuniang couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Then he heard a familiar voice coming from outside, "Hey, isn't this the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion? Is the person inside Pei?"

Now that the relationship has fallen out, Shen Yuyan doesn't need to pretend anymore.

But looking at the magnificent, tall and mighty carriage of the Marquis' Mansion, she couldn't hide her jealousy.

"Oh, it's Sister Yuyan. How dare Sister Yuyan come out to see people instead of hiding? Oh, I forgot. Sister Yuyan never cares about these things."

Pei Jiuniang made a sarcasm.

Shen Yuyan's face immediately turned red, and she wanted to reach out and scratch Pei Jiuniang's face, but she held back.

He chuckled and said, "You don't have to deliberately provoke me. I came here to tell you that I'm going to get married soon. Although the man I'm marrying doesn't have a high position or a high salary, he is a gentleman and a serious scholar, and he treats me very well."

"Sister, is this really lucky? Is that man blind?"

"You?! Pei Jiuniang, don't be so sarcastic. I know you have been jealous of me since you were a child and have deliberately tried to destroy me, but God always favors me. You can never be better than me."

The more Shen Yuyan thought about it, the more relieved she felt.

In the end, he even laughed smugly in front of his face.

It seemed as if she had really surpassed Pei Jiuniang.

"Whether I can win or not, we will know after the competition. My sister only said that she was getting married, but what is the name of the person she is marrying? Could it be that my sister has lost her mind and came to me to act crazy?"

"Of course, he is one of the most famous talents in the capital. Don't worry, when my wedding date is set, I will definitely invite you to the wedding for a drink."

Shen Yuyan became arrogant again, looking like she was giving alms.

"Then I'll just wait."

Pei Jiuniang chuckled.

Sometimes she wondered if Shen Yuyan was too stupid and naive. Although many people were attracted to her, she didn't know what she had done.

However, Shen Yuyan is now almost desperate, and the Xie family is a life-saving straw that suddenly appears. She has no reason not to grab it.

...

Not long after Pei Jiuniang returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she received a message from Gu Tingzhi saying that he was busy with official duties in the past few days and could not return home.

Pei Jiuniang nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.

This did leave the soldier who came to convey the message a little stunned.

After all, when other families who went to deliver the message learned that their husbands were not coming back, they would inquire carefully and prepare some things for them to take away.

This person is too calm.

He remembered the rumors that the Marquis and his wife did not have a good relationship. He used to think it was nonsense, but now it seems to be not groundless.

Pei Jiuniang had already gone to do her work. The nanny beside her saw the soldier still standing there, stunned for a moment, then took out a piece of change and handed it to him.

The soldier was surprised and knew that the other party had misunderstood, but the nanny smiled at him kindly.

"My wife is so busy right now, I wonder how long it will take for you to return home, my Lord?"

"I don't know either." The soldier stammered.

"Nothing else, I'm leaving now."

The soldier waited for a while, but no one mentioned bringing the things, so he knew it was impossible.

"Goodbye, little brother."

Mammy bowed slightly.

The soldier galloped all the way back to the camp.

When Gu Tingzhi heard the news, his reaction was indifferent.

People around him felt sorry for him, "Why didn't the Madam let me bring some spare clothes or something? Sigh!"

"Madam has been very busy lately."

Gu Tingzhi also felt a little disappointed, but this was something he had expected.

Besides, when he asked someone to go back, he was just notifying them. Recently, he often took time to go back to accompany Brother Yu. He was afraid that if he suddenly didn't go back, Brother Yu would misunderstand.

He could see that the child was very meticulous and once it was broken, it would be difficult to repair.

It took him a lot of effort to change his mind about him.

I don't want to fail at the last moment.

They mainly switched defense this time.

After he took over the defense of the capital, he got to work, and recently, he finally had a complete set, and he planned to redeploy the defenses one by one.

It will probably take some time.

After all, this is a military secret and cannot be known to too many people.

For several days, Gu Tingzhi was extremely busy.

Once the last defense is completed, the mission is accomplished.

At this moment, someone suddenly delivered a letter at full speed. He opened it and immediately frowned.

But he still forced himself to complete the final deployment, and Bai hurried to ask the person who delivered the letter.

"Tell me, where did it come from?"

"General, someone shot an arrow at me. After I found it, I saw it was for you, so I sent it to you immediately."

"What time was it delivered?"

Gu Tingzhi is going crazy.

If anything happened to Jiu Niang and Yu Ge, he would not forgive himself.

But he didn't expect that when he rushed to the place mentioned in the letter, what he saw was not -
